Bootstrap replaces the need for closed-form math. You simulate the sampling distribution by resampling your own data. Amber dots = data points sampled more than once.

Bootstrap Sampling - Interactive Visualization

Bootstrap resampling estimates the sampling distribution of any statistic without parametric assumptions. Sample with replacement from the original data B times, compute the statistic each time, and use the distribution of bootstrap statistics as a proxy for the sampling distribution. This visualization animates the resampling process and shows the bootstrap distribution building up.

  • Watch resampling with replacement: some points appear twice, some not at all
  • See bootstrap distribution of mean/median/std build as samples accumulate
  • Compute percentile confidence intervals from the bootstrap distribution
  • Adjust B (bootstrap samples) to see distribution converge
  • Foundation for bootstrap confidence intervals in scikit-learn and statsmodels
